[fletch..gti]

just cleaned the gti and put it in the garage ,not sure how think i must have knocked the LADDER on the wall and yes
thats right it feel on car . its put a dint in the door and a couple of dig marks in the paint
its just on the curve on the body work next to the window rubber which it as cut a little to.
looks like a respray , is it best to take it to vw workshop, the car is reflex silver and i have seen silver
cars which have had paint work and it stands out really bad, just worried about the colour match

FWIW, it happened to my beloved Subaru Turbo about 7 years ago. (silver too)
I'd just detailed it - put it back in the garage (where it spent most of its time!!:grin:) and set the alarm.

That night, the garage alarm went off, so I ran downstairs with my baseball bat (for sports purposes only ) and opened the front door.
The garage door thankfully was still shut (and locked).
As I opened the garage door, I felt something rush out from underneath the door. Both the car and garage alarms were going off - quite a racket really!
Turned the lights on, reset the alarms...... and then saw what had happened.

A fookin cat had been up in the rafters of the garage when I'd alarmed/shut the garage. When the scrawny little sod had woken up, it knocked my old Sky dish off the shelves above the car...........it proceeded to fall onto my baby.

Dug a 4" GASH into the bonnet (just next to the bonnet scoop)
Also knocked my Golf clubs that fell against the wing and creased that too.

I fookin hate cats :mad:

I cost me a blinkin fortune

Hope you get it sorted painlessly

FWIW, later that year, somebody turned my Scoob into a boomerang shape
It was resprayed/repaired, and you couldn't tell the difference. They did a cracking job

You might be lucky - are you going to get VW to do it?

I had a nasty scrape on the drivers door that went from where the handle starts to the back door. Cost me £500 to get it done professionally - used an accident repair centre that use Jags, Audis, Porsches and BMWs as their clientele. Did a fantastic job. You cannot tell it's been resprayed.

Ask your VW dealer where they go to get their jobs done.

i will pay what it takes, its a case of havin to, just want a good job and if its not who ever paints it will
do it again and again till they get paid . just dont know if independant or vw. would vw get the best paint match
or does it not make much diffrence. . just of to wipe some tears away

has anyone had paint work on a reflex silver car and what was the match like ??

[Dogbucket]

I had a rear bumper redone on a reflex silver Golf I owned and it looked fine. That was an independent bodyshop.
